THE PLOUGH BOY
The plough boy wends his merry way
and whistles up the sun today.
Yesterday he made it rain,
and ploughing was postponed again!
Tomorrow if his notes are low
Perhaps we will be in for snow.
But if his tunes are all displeasing
Expect a bitter morn-with freezing!
I only had this partial truck, so I decided to go with this rusty tractor for HTT. I thought it was neat because it has a roll cage. The farmer must have wanted to be a race car driver.
After the parade through town, around the mill and into the park, tractors either park or head out to the fields to work. Of course, t hey have farmers on them, too.

Something that may exist elsewhere, but I have only observed in the rural southern United States is the use of old farm equipment used as roadside lawn ornaments, planters , etc, etc, This old tractor is being used as a roadside flag holder.
Turning into this short driveway becomes a journey to years ago as a deserted barn is fronted by a tractor that is not seriously used any more.
Searching the library of our memories for incidents that stand out from a farm upbringing can reveal things that had a larger impact on us as youngsters that others might miss.
The years of my youth were long enough that certain happenings took on an exaggerated significance because my world at that time was pretty small and was definitely centered around the going-ons of my father and his constant labors to tame farmland and raise enough livestock to pay the bills and fill the stomachs of his brood.
The warm months in southwestern Minnesota were all about tractors and machinery out in the fields: planting, cultivating, harvesting and plowing pretty much filled the months from late April through Thanksgiving.
I grew attuned to nuances that interrupted that patterned flow and an idled tractor in our yard told me something was probably wrong as my dad was in the saddle most days from before sun-up until after sunset. A silent tractor could mean a mechanical breakdown or more ominously, someone was sick or hurt and dad had come in from the fields to check things out. Decades later I can quickly recall the tension that grew in me until I found out what was happening.

In the height of pollinator season, expansive meadows of clover, nettle, ragwort, hawksbeard, cranesbill, chicory, vetch, spiderwort, wild blackberries, wood violets, wood sorrel, Japanese rose, other wildflowers, sedges, red fescue grass, etc. were mowed down ... in other words, pollinators' food was tossed out.

A few weeks ago the farmers were very busy because of the harvest time. When I was driving home I saw this Tractor and thought this could be a nice picture :-)

Since the year 1964, Schlüter was specialized in tractors of the upper power range. At that time, that meant engines till 320 hp. Quite an exception in that era were tractors which obtained four tires of the same size, represented by the Super Trac series. The Profi Trac series were equipped with four equally sized tires, mounted on two steerable axles instead of just one. The rear axle of this Profi Trac tractors could steer in the opposite or same direction as the front axle, as well as steering not at all. In 1978, a unique specimen was built, the so-called Profi Trac 5000 TVL with 500 hp. At its appearance, it was regarded as the most powerful tractor of entire Europe. Later on, 184 Euro Trac were built, until the Schlüter company went bankrupt.

On the hot days last week we took very early walks to avoid the heat as much as possible.
I had been watching the sky while we had been walking and thinking I need a foreground , when we came upon a break in the fence we climbed over the gate to shoot this scene, the tractor tracks lead the way to the lone tree and the colourful foliage.
A nice way to start the day then back to the cottage to rustle up some breakfast.
By my count, there are 5 vintage tractors in here, along with one used-up golf cart and a possible lawn mower. As I was photographing the saddle (next picture), I said to the farmer, who was sitting nearby, "you got a lot of old tractors in there, it made a great picture." He laughed and said, "that's not all of them!" Evidently old tractors don't die, they just go to this guy's barn.
This shot took a little effort. Initially, the ISO was too high. But I wanted deep depth of field, so I had to keep the f/stop high. So I relied on my new monopod to give me some steadiness, and took the shutter speed down to 1/15th. That got the ISO down to a more manageable 7200. Finally, I passed it through Topaz Photo AI to deal with the noise and sharpening. It kinda came out as I envisioned it.
